Revenue and income statement
In 2024, BALAS PARTICIPATION GESTION achieves revenue of 5.2 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +7.4%. Vs 2023: +1%. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 5.2 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.1 M€, representing 21.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+1%), EBITDA varies by -44%, reducing margin by 17.8 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 961 k€, i.e. 18.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
